Where are the American Protestants so fond of the Bible and the Bible quotes about the Divinity of Jesus ?? - Why are they so passive before the Mormon to be president ?? -*- Is Mormonism so innocuous to their faith ??

.

O Mother State, how quenched thy Sinai fires!
Is there none left of thy stanch Mayflower breed?
No spark among the ashes of thy sires,
Of Virtue's altar-flame the kindling seed?
Are these thy great men, these that cringe and creep,
And writhe through slimy ways to place and power?--
How long, O Lord, before thy wrath shall reap
Our frail-stemmed summer prosperings in their flower?
Oh for one hour of that undaunted stock
That went with Vane and Sidney to the block!

From a poem by James Russell Lowell : "To John Gorham Palfrey"

James Russell Lowell ( 1819 – 1891) was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat.

John Gorham Palfrey (1796 – 1881) was a fierce anti-slavery fighter that lost positions in the U. S. Congress and public offices for his strong views for freedom for all men. After Abraham Lincoln's election in 1861, Senator Charles Sumner secured him appointment as Postmaster of Boston, a post he held from 1861 to 1867.

The warmth of James Russell Lowell's affection was almost ideal, and it best expressed itself in memorial verses in honor of his friends. These verses show how greatly he valued courage and faithfulness in defense of the right, and they have a distinctly ethical character. The first of these poems is addressed " To John Gorham Palfrey," who had bolted from his party rather than support a candidate submissive to the encroachments of slavery.

This is a collection of poems to friends that he admired and loved for their political stances and affirmations, written circa 1848, 13 years before the American Civil War.

Vicente's Tirade and Rant follows :

*********************************************

How can the Greatest Country on earth and the Greatest Empire that has ever existed be ruled by a brainwashed brainwasher ??

By a Mormon Missionary ??? -- People do not know the History of this Religion founded by such frauds that wanted to exploit ignorance, foolishness, stupidity .... With the topmost in Fantasy and Absurd, contradicted by Science, like the Genetics of the Native American Indians or the reading of the Egyptian Scrolls of the "Book of Abraham" that "Prophet" Joseph Smith translated according to his schemes of swindling fools.

What about raping so many young girls in the History of this cult ??

What about those Old Mormons in Utah that castrated a young and handsome rival in order to enslave a preadolescent girl in their brutal harems ??

What about the Brutal Racism of Mormonism for most of its History ??

I even doubt that Mitt Romney believes in the foolish tenets of this faith.

I am not a Christian but I am amazed by the unChristian and antiChristian dogmas of Mormonism.

They contradict the Theology that Christianity has had during 2,000 years : Catholics and Protestants.

You have to go to some Gnostics or to the Cathars to find such "Horrible" Heretics.

And why Americans love and admire such millionaires that have made their fortune by dubious ways ??

Is it that they believe that they are going to be billionaires in the same Exclusive Clubs as Mitt ?? - Are they realistic ??
